of thirty-Onc happy Years. She of his
youthful pride and choice was his SUI

tower of strength. She was the JOY Of his
soul. He was her honorable pride. She
the confident of his secret thoughts. He
was faithful TO his bridal vows. She re-
ciprocated his undivided love. Such a
home was the dream OF his lite. tuOn the
western hills that overlook our National
Capitol he found that swect, sweet home
where he had hoped to spend yet many a
happy year, and with Goldsmith sang:

In all my grietS and God has given me my share,

Amid these humbled bowers To lay me down,
To husband out lifc'S taper 10 is close

His manly brow shonc like polished mar

of the Searchcr of all hearts. 1t was his
last sacrament on earth. Standing by the
tomb of Grant on last memorial day, he
delivered an Grafton on immortality. In
that glorious hope he died. He has joined
his comrades in the skies. He has answered
to the morning call Of eternal life.
